I would like to them be called: README.txt, CHANGES.txt, LICENSE.txt etc 
because this way most Operating Systems know how to open them.

These two directories could also be placed under "src/". In your 
setup.py with Setuptools you then just have to add the line:

     package_dir = {
         '': 'src'
         },

Maybe reportlab/fonts/ and reportlab/tools/ should also move to the top 
  directory because they are not an essential part of reportlab toolkit.

You might add:

	test_suite = "tests",

to setup.py then, so the tests may be executed easily like this:

	$ python setup.py test

I think this is a good idea to cleanup a bit.
